Don't you know....never take no for a answer.......haha
That is 1 beautiful piece of ICE you built there bud. Nice work. Almost too pretty to put in service. Almost.
 
A couple more parts done! Custom water crossover to clear my cam driven fuel pump and water pump mount. Hoping for some movement on my motor plates so I can get the motor wired and to the dyno!

Working on motor plates and serpentine belt system. Tight fit but it’s coming together!

Did you ever get this beautiful boat done? Would love to see the finished product. Great work.
 
Been busy with other projects but this is still inching forward. John C finished the custom serpentine belt system and now working on plumbing setup. Steering system is in design, tanks are set in but thinking of painting same red so they somewhat disappear

Hey now! Where and how did you score the unobtainium Z-Rails?

Jealousy aside, you are setting the bar for a top shelf contemporary build.

Well done sir.

I've heard of people simply welding two pieces of aluminum channel together to form the "Z," and then mill the welded areas so it doesn't look like it was made using two pieces. It would be overkill as the two vertical pieces would be twice as thick as the horizontal sections of the Z, but it could also be milled out in areas to lose some weight. 👍

I have 2 sets of old Z rail kits and this one fit perfect then we started chopping them up a bit for something different.
 
I parked my 24 Schiada next to a red metal flake Vaughn at the marina in Havasu. The bottoms are very similar. I didn’t measure it so just an observation.
